How to cure the confidence crisis | Jenny Ward | TEDxRolandPark

[@SarahRowlett]

This is amazing and I'm so happy that Jenny is talking about an unspoken rule among successful female business leaders. Having to walk that fine line of being confident, but not too confident, of being a leader, but not too bossy, of spearheading a strategy, but not being too pushy, etc. Amazing presentation Jenny, thank you for your wisdom and fearlessness.

[@jennyward1663]

Your words mean so so much. Thank you for always loving and supporting me.

[@NeverSettleNetwork]

@jennyward this talk is so needed. That part about the majority of women being concerned that their confidence would be seen as something abrasive, aggressive etc accentuates the point that we all need to be more aware of our biases. It was awesome seeing you practice and rehearse this talk and that it’s getting the attention it deserves.

[@jennyward1663]

Mario, you are such a light. Thank you your support over this journey, and for being such a wondeful human.

[@LizStJean]

This is a really important conversation - there are so many imposter messages in the workplace, where women are implicitly (or explicitly) told they don’t belong… And then they’re told they need to “fix” their confidence issues. Thank you for sharing Jenny.

[@jennyward1663]

Thank you so much my friend!

[@bethevans2615]

So proud of you, Jenny! So important to bring this to light.

[@jennyward1663]

I appreciate you! Thank you!

[@kerristenson]

Oh my gosh, yes yes yes. Thank you for identifying the real issue and being so passionate about creating solutions. You are making such a difference and positive impact. 💥💥

[@sarahlynnmiller]

Very interesting! I have always felt confident in my career but have struggled with how to best portray it. I think you’ve articulated a problem that has plagued many of us in the workplace.

[@jennyward1663]

Sarah, thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate you so much.

[@CotswoldCowgirl]

Congratulations, Jenny! Thanks for helping us to understand and articulate this pressing problem x

[@jennyward1663]

Thank you so much Kate! I appreciate you.

[@chicalu]

This brought me back to a time I took charge of closing duties at my work. The current acting manager was crying because her drawer wouldn’t balance and everyone else was standing around wondering what to do. I figured it was best if we all carried on with closing duties per usual. So I was reading off the list to assign tasks to whomever. The next day I got in trouble for “barking orders” … I was just reading the list off to get it done. Next time I’ll wait until your manager stops crying.

[@jennyward1663]

Oh gosh - sadly, that sounds like a familiar tale, one I appreciate you sharing. You sound like a leader though, so keep doing what you're doing.

[@pammiecool]

Thanks Jenny - it's so good; I am sharing it with my women friends - especially the young women in my life so they benefit form your wisdom! You rock!

[@jennyward1663]

Love you my friend!! xo

[@daveylives]

Should be titled, “how to cure the confidence crisis… for Women.”

[@tonystewart7624]

Agreed. It seems like a lot of people from this new generation either lack confidence or they are over confident.

[@Braincoderadiotv]

Yes for women

[@ttnmediaja]

exactly

[@jumpingthroughhoops9737]

Lolololol... Hahahaha that is funny bruv

[@civirebel]

In a culture that has us value each other based on material and superficial contributions, it is difficult for any of us to attain this disillusioned version of confidence.

[@amyconrad5068]

Jenny thank you for an amazing talk and shining light on a gap that is so real for women.

[@jennyward1663]

Amy, thank you! I appreciate you so much. Happy holidays.

[@crafacz]

Worth the watch! This resonates so much with things I’ve heard and experienced in my own career

Woohoo!!! Thank you! So happy we were on this journey together!

[@terriabramovitz7412]

Thank you for your eye-opening thoughts about women's confidence in the workplace. You did a great job pointing out some issues and offering solutions! As a leader, I want to ensure my feedback is appropriately given to both men and women. Your talk was quite helpful!

[@jennyward1663]

You are wonderful, and I never could have done it without you.

[@AmirahAbbasi]

What a powerful talk! It's a moment of self reflection. My resume does read like a job description when I wtite it. I know the amount of money and growth I have created for the companies I have been a part of and yet here I am sitting with impostor syndrome every night. Ted always gathers the best "thinking" brains to empower us.

[@jennyward1663]

You know that I know you're a superstar, and I am so grateful our pathes crossed. Thank you for your support my friend.

[@nlammerhirt]

What an excellent presentation. Thought provoking and on point! Well done Jenny!

[@jennyward1663]

[@stealthslayer4406]

You are a perfect example on why men get paid more because they deliver a message with more passion more dedication more execution!

[@robertkennedy3]

Jenny...this is fantastic! I was so honored to be there in person! Congrats on achieving an even broader reach with this message! Keep shining!

[@jennyward1663]

To answer your 3 questions. Yes, Yes and Yes!

[@michelledanks9965]

Thank you for a thoughtful and enlightening presentation. I’ve experienced some of what you mentioned too many times to count, not realizing I was in a no-win situation. Thank you for sharing and inspiring more women to better understand how we can advocate for ourselves in the workplace - beyond social norms or gender bias. 🙌🏻

[@jennyward1663]

Thank you for your vulnerability and thoghtful feedback. I appreciate you.

[@braedonmcknight154]

I clicked on this to help my confidence issues, some good points but as if men don't have problems with confidence too is ridiculous

[@jennyward1663]

I couldn't agree more Braedon - confidence issues show up for men and women. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch.

[@sarahhammond8055]

Such an important topic that should be top of mind for every leader. As a woman and leader myself I have even delivered feedback differently adhering to gender norms. This is NOT a mainstream management training but certainly should be. Thx for such a thought provoking talk that hopefully gets into the hands of leaders that can create the change we so desperately need.

[@Glampingtenerifesouth]

Again victimising women and telling them it's men's fault for them not having self confidence 🙄 we live in desperate times

[@silviamoloce729]

Did you even listen to the speech? Men are socialized since childhood to be assertive while women are socialized to be modest, not to talk about their beauty, inteligence or achievements. It’s not victimsation, there are tons of studies proving this. And yes, men benefit a lot from the way our societies socialize them and from the fact that women are indirectly told to be modest and to not try to highlight their achievments and and qualities as a person.
